Thinking, Learning, Moving Differences in Persons with Disabilities

Description

The brain is the powerhouse of our body, mind and functions. While science has yet to fully deconstruct the mysteries of the brain, we know enough about how it affects our executive functioning (EF) in relation to how we think, learn, and behave. In the area of working with Persons with Disabilities, a firm understanding of how their executive functioning is affected helps you make informed decisions of ways of working with them.

This interactive course helps you peer into the brain and how our thinking, learning and behaviour relate to our EF. More importantly, you will examine the impact of EF on persons with disabilities and a range of activities to strength their EF limitations.
